"Je préfererais pas" is valid (and matches the contraction of "I'd prefer not to"), although a bit less formal. Almost equivalent to "Je préfererais ne pas (le faire)" is valid too in everyday speak. And s

There is always a way out of debt, in software as well as in real life. It's called a clearance. Or a jubilee, in public matters. Just to say that "debt" is not a physical, inescapable fact, it _can_ be cleared, fully, or par

You do it daily when you're managing life/death-impacting operations (ER, hospitals, factories with team shifts). Software engineering/IT RUN and SUPPORT activities MAY fit there too, but that does not even mandate a daily re

Accounting-wise, it's very common that R&D and developers are counted as cost centers, not profit centers. This is not necessarily a problem, unless the management (and shareholders) only understands costs as an impediment to be pr
